Toyota just revealed the new TRD Pro color for 2026, and it’s a bold one—Wave Maker. This bright, icy blue is made to stand out and brings a fresh, adventurous vibe to the already aggressive 2026 Tundra TRD Pro. The color was created by Toyota’s CALTY Design team and is meant to inspire the spirit of adventure. After a few years of earthy tones like Terra and Mudbath, Wave Maker is a big shift—meant to capture the look and feel of unexplored places, like icy landscapes and even space. Wave Maker continues the TRD Pro color tradition that started with Inferno in 2015. It’s exclusive to 2026 TRD Pro models and will be available on the Tundra, along with the 4Runner, Tacoma, and Sequoia. Expect them at dealerships in fall 2025. So—what do you think of Wave Maker on the Tundra? Love it or leaving it? No info yet on price or extra features added for 2026 at this time.

Out of all the mods I’ve done to my 3rd Gen Tundra, swapping the 8-inch screen for the 14-inch touchscreen has easily been the best upgrade so far.

The best part? It was super simple and plug-and-play. No crazy wiring, no complicated coding — just swapped the screens, plugged everything in, and it fired up perfectly.

The difference in size, clarity, and functionality is next level:

Way easier to use maps, camera views, and apps
Makes the interior feel so much more high-end
Better visibility for off-roading and towing too
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work so much better — faster, smoother, and way easier to use while driving

One thing to note — I currently don’t have the physical radio knob installed, but honestly, I’m surprised how smooth everything still feels.

The steering wheel volume controls work perfectly and make adjusting sound super easy without needing to reach for the screen.

If you’re on the fence about upgrading your screen, do it — it completely transforms the driving experience without the stress of a complicated install.
